The compact yet robust SLR Magic MicroPrime CINE 17mm T1.5 Lens covers MFT image sensors and features a Micro Four Thirds mount. Suitable for 4K capture, each lens in the MicroPrime Cine series is similar in size and weight and features consistent gear positioning to enable quick lens changes.

The MicroPrime Cine 17mm lens produces sharp images and pleasing bokeh with natural-looking out-of-focus highlights. This lens has an 85mm front diameter for compatibility with a variety of matte boxes, an internal focus design to prevent the front of the lens from rotating when focusing, and an 82mm front filter thread.

Internal focus design minimizes breathing and prevents the front of the lens from rotating as focus changes
11-blade iris produces rounded out-of-focus highlights and natural-looking bokeh
Common 0.8 MOD gear positions and front outer diameter across lenses in the MicroPrime lineup make for fast lens changes

Big Fan of SLR Magic Cinema Lenses

Huge fan of these SLR Magic Microprimes. I now have a full set: 12mm T/2.8, 17mm T/1.5, 21mm fT/1.6, 25mm T/1.5, 35mm T/1.5, 50mm T/1.5. They're the best bang for your buck cinema primes out there, in my opinion. I use them with a BMPCC4k and GH5 and I love them. The only thing I wish they had was a bit more throw with the longer distances. There's very little travel from infinity to six feet, for example. If your focus or aperture ring seems stiff at first, don't worry - it'll loosen up after some use. I'm now starting a collection of the SLR Magic APO lenses for PL mount.

Perfect wide for the BMPCC 4K

Very nice lens! It’s the perfect compliment to the BMPCC 4K. In the past I had used the Veydra 16mm on my Pocket 4K and really loved it. So, I figured that the similar focal length and faster aperture would be even better. I was right. And of course, the build quality is the solid and heavy that you’d expect of a great cinema lens. The one potential downside of the lens is that it’s a bit soft wide open, but that’s not an issue for me. I’m glad I bought it.

Love it!

This lens pairs perfectly with our other SLR Magic 35mm T 1.5 for a BMPCC4K. The two lenses work perfectly for our needs. I like the quality and look the 17mm produces for short film/run and gun. It's compact so it is easy to balance on a gimbal. The only question is which lens to get next... The SLR Magic 12mm or 50mm lens?

Why spend more??

The DOF is beautiful on this lens when you can leave the aperture wide open. I've done some test footage but can't wait to apply this bad boy to my next projects!
